To determine the appropriate SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE size, it is first necessary to clean the shaft carefully. The diameter of an undamaged section of the seal counterface should then be measured on at least three different planes. The arithmetical mean of these measurements determines the size of the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE. If the value lies within the permissible range listed in the product table for the shaft diameter, the SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE will have an adequate tight fit on the shaft and will not require an adhesive.

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a fast and effective way to refinish worn shafts. It's quicker than remetalizing or regrinding, and provides an improved sealing surface. The outside surface of an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE forms an ideal sealing surface, as many popular regrinding and refinishing techniques produce a surface that cannot be properly sealed.

The standard range of SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE sizes covers shaft diameters from 0.472" to 8" (12 mm to 200 mm). The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is thin-walled, 0.011" (0.28 mm), and made of high-quality stainless steel. The contact surface is wear-resistant with a finish of Ra 10 to 20 µin (0.25 to 0.5 µm). No expensive machining or preparation is required before mounting, and downtime is reduced since installation only takes a few minutes.

Here's how to install an SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE:

1. Clean the seal counter surface on the shaft and file down any burrs or rough spots.
2. Measure the diameter where the sleeve will be positioned on an unworn portion of the shaft, and average the readings to ensure the shaft is within the recommended specifications.
3. Determine where the sleeve must be positioned to cover the seal wear track, and mark the exact point on the surface.
4. For shallow wear grooves, a light layer of a non-hardening sealant can be applied to the inside diameter surface of the sleeve. For deeply scored shafts, fill the groove with a powdered metal epoxy type filler.
5. Install the sleeve, with the flange end going on the shaft first, and use the installation tool to gently tap the center until the sleeve covers the seal worn surface.
6. Leave the flange intact unless clearance is needed, and remove any burrs that could damage the seal.
7. Lubricate the sleeve with the system medium before installing the seal.

The SKF SPEEDI-SLEEVE is a cost-effective and efficient solution for refinishing worn shafts, providing a hard, wear-resistant surface that ensures proper sealing.
